Pair
of $150,000 Sales From Rick Latona's Live Auction in Australia Lead
This Week's Domain Sales Chart

The past week was probably the
year's shortest business week. America celebrated one
of its biggest annual holidays, Thanksgiving, on Thursday and
over the years the Thanksgiving break has expanded into a four-day
weekend for many people in the U.S. As a result the business
week was pretty much cut down to three days, Monday through
Wednesday.

As you would expect, with so many people
away from work, that cut down on the number of domain transactions
but we still have a decent number of high dollar sales on the new
weekly chart because of earlier live auction sales that just
closed over the past week.

A pair of domains that RickLatona.com
sold in their live auction at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
Down Under in Australia Nov. 20 lead the pack. SanJuan.com
and CR.com booked a healthy $150,000 each to tie for
the #1 position on our new Top 20 chart. Latona also put
Thinner.com on the Big Board (tied for 12th) at $15,000.

NameJet.com
had the top sales among the everyday venues moving #3 BikeHelmets.com
for $50,000 and #4 ZL.com for $45,100. NameJet
piled up four more entries on the second half of the chart in their
best Top 20 showing ever.

Sedo.com
had the best non .com sale, #5 GiftIdeas.co.uk, at $37,950.
There was only one other non .com on the entire leader board, $10 NetBet.org,
sold at TDNAM.com
for $16,005. That's quite a contrast from last week when
country code domains swept 12 of the 20 positions on the elite list.
This week .com was back in the saddle piling up 18 of 20
entries.

Moniker's
name dots the chart more than any other venue. They wrapped up half
a dozen five-figure sales from the T.R.A.F.F.I.C.
New York live auction and also added a sale from their
website to take seven slots overall. Their top seller was #6 Trumpet.com,
a name that hit a $35,000 high note in the Big Apple.

One other venue, the AfternicDLS,
had multiple charted sales, collecting two Top 20 trophies. Here is how all of the
leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, November 30:

Keep in mind that these are the highest
value sales that have been reported to us in the
past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool,
not a complete list documenting ALL high
value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce
because many sales are kept private at the insistence of
buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the
accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Forthe many newcomers entering the domain
industry we also want to point out that the reasons why a domain name sells for a certain price can be varied and are not always clear to those who are unfamiliar with the domain market.
If you do not understand why specific domain names command the
prices they do, you are likely to make unwise domain registrations or purchases.
We highly recommend that you do some basic research beforeyou buyanything! As a starting point we have
built a sister site specifically for you at NameNewbie.com.

NameJet paced the .com supporting cast with HashBrowns.com
serving up $7,600. They also scored with BallShop.com
($6,700), MinkCoats.com ($6,320) and Naumburg.com
($4,611). SpyDepot.com spotted $3,209, Campeones.com
contributed $2,626 and CleanHome.com swept up $2,600.
NameJet also dispensed TexasHoldemTips.com for $2,100
and made $2,000 for MissionHomes.com.

Sedo socked away $7,301 from the sale of Adel.com
through their GreatDomains.com
premium auction site. On their main venue Sedo rang up $6,731
for ParisPass.com, $5,100 for VideoPlaylist.com
and $5,080 for Tiffi.com. Golf1.com tapped in $4,445,
PuntaPacifica.com kicked in $4,200 and an IDN, Sprόche.com,
sprouted $3,810.

Moniker closed some additional sales from their
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. New York live auction; NetworkingJobs.com ($7,000),
MarriageTherapists.com ($3,000) and Scooper.com ($2,500).
They also closed SEOProducts.com, a name sold in their SES
conference auction for $2,000. In additional sales from their
website they collected $5,149 each for BlogPolls.com
and Jobstacles.com. NewMillenniumBank.com booked $4,149,
Filtrate.com fetched $2,563 and two others; ArcuriForCongress.com
and HealthyLivingShop.com landed $2,099 each.

Global Contenders
(.biz, .info, .mobi, .net & .org)

.Org was limited to five entries on this
week's Global Contenders Top 20 but that extension scored big
with the #1 domain, NetBet.org, sold at TDNAM.com for $16,005.
.Net then took control of the leader board with #2 Inform.net
(sold by Matthew Field for $8,000 in a private sale)
and #3 Budapest.net ($7,101 at NameJet). .Net went on
to pile up 10 chart entries.

The remaining five positions were split between .mobi
and .info. .Mobi scored twice with #4 Media.mobi ($5,099)
and #6 See.mobi ($3,900). Both of those were sold at Sedo.
.Info hit the trifecta with their trio of charted sales led by #8 Clasificados.info,
a name also sold by Sedo for $3,351.

Here's how all of the Global Contenders stacked up for the
week ending November 30:

on the Country Code Top 20 after a $37,950 sale at
Sedo. Sedo went on to sweep every single position on the leader
board! Their list included a half dozen Netherlands (.nl)
domain sales, led by #2 Emirates.nl at $7,620.
